Just thinking about how storytellers are all linked together in a chain of ingesting the stories, themes, metaphors, concepts, ideas, subjects, etc of beloved predecessors and peers and finding what touches you, inspires you, moves you, what you also want to communicate and then- making something of your own, something that will touch someone next, change them a little (or a lot) in a beautiful way and they’ll make something too, maybe with a little bit of you in it.

And we’ve been doing that in an unbroken link since language began.

completely unrelated but MAN i love lost media so much, i love how people come together to try and find obscure pieces of music or video or art that real human beings made for one reason or another but then were forgotten, maybe it was considered unimportant and not worth remembering and yet AND YET there are still people trying to remember and save and share it anyway, little pieces of something that no one cared about, turns out some people DO care. i just find the sentiment so beautiful and so human, the way curiosity can be a form of love

Relistening to Hallowoods episode 33 and can’t wait for Barb and Polly to join forces and break out of the Industry prisons so they can go HOME

Bonus points if it’s after Polly is blinded and Barb has to keep his head above water re: despair

It would round out their interactions from 33 PERFECTLY I need it so much

Okay but like, I need to rant about this post.

I had to do a lot of research on Yamantaka for my fic because frankly I’m behind on the manga due to my brain refusing to let me sit and read anything. Yamantaka is LITERALLY A GOD OF DEATH. We already know that Renzou struggles to maintain control/consciousness while using him. And as the post pointed out, he has had this familiar since he was a baby. That’s a terrifying thing to consider!

But no one bats an eye.

Karura tries to make Ryuji her partner to end the Impure King, and Everyone loses their minds! “He’s still a child” SO IS RENZOU.

Like I get that Ryuji and his family are like the head of the Myōō Dharani so they’re super important and in comparison the Shima’s are under them, but for FUCKS SAKE. 

The Illuminati want to use Renzou for Yamantaka, that’s why he was recruited. He was recruited, then further recruited at 15 for a really dangerous double agent mission. A child. 

THEY ARE BOTH CHILDREN DURING THESE MOMENTS, WHY IS IT ONLY BEING POINTED OUT THAT RYUJI IS A CHILD?!

Does anyone want to talk with me about how I think Dell is Evelyn and Caleb’s son

[maverickcalf]

Thinking about how the first one to call Maverick, 'Mav, after Goose died was Slider.

He talks to a lot of people, but Slider was the first!

I truly cannot put into words what it is that makes me so viscerally upset by the way AI is being used for creative things.

Something about faceless corporations selling it to us with a smiley face mask on. Cute packaging on how we can have a "friend" that listens and lies and ultimately can't decide for itself whether to share your information.

Something about trying to take away the value of people's crafts, of "why bother to learn it when an AI could do it for you". The removal and commodification of art, of trying to make people forget they can create things on their own so that they never think twice buying what they could make, and could probably make better than what they'll sell you at Walmart or Amazon or whatever.

Something about how nobody wants to take this seriously because "it's not that far along yet". About how everything else that has been used for convenience or fun under capitalism has been warped and twisted into 7.99 a month. Just 29.99 a year. Spring sale, only 24.99, buy now.

Something about people's earnest desires for technological advancement being exploited to create something that benefits only a few and exploits the rest. Surely it will end up okay this time. It won't be another Tesla. It won't be another Amazon. It won't be another oil tycoon, another Google, another planned obsolescence iPad. It won't be like last time. We'll do it right this time. It won't be another SpaceX. Another acne cream ad on a channel aimed at 10 year olds.

Something about my views and rage towards "tech" as we've come to know it being considered old fashioned. Technophobic. Luddite.

Something about violation of people's consent to be a part of it. Crushing people's voices and using a machine to talk over them. About making everything faster, cheaper, more plastic, less genuine.

Something about removing humans from the first things humanity ever had.

I can’t stop thinking about Rhaenys waiting by the shore whilst Corlys is coming back from Tarth after Aemon’s death, all the more devastating that she’s so far along in her pregnancy., it made it far more stressful. Running into his arms as soon as he touches solid ground again, and all Corlys can do is hold her.

😭 Yeah I wrote a bit about it in the Stepstones fic, but I imagine she was completely distraught and Corlys had to hold her for a long, long time. That was probably her first real heartbreak.

[bloodiedrogue]

well, i guess that’s it then

No, but the way that everyone in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a bit of a mess, that nobody has everything figured out, that even into adulthood they’re all continuing to go through the processes of reevaluating what they want and who they want to be, of unpacking the negative things they’ve internalized, because no, you’re not going to suddenly, magically know everything just because you’re an adult or because you’ve reached a certain life “milestone,” life is confusing and unpredictable and-despite how much society has tried to convince us otherwise-it just doesn’t work like that.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
